The endless struggle of professional iPad users trying to get their hardware to act like something it insists it is not.

Ultimately the team behind it doesn't want to relinquish control to the user, so we're stuck in this world where it can never truly by a professional tool because every step of the way there is something like this where on a real computer its just an extra screen and you put on what you want on it and the situation where content of the other screen gets suddenly shown can't happen. But the iPad has to pretend screens don't exist and only apps do.

Sure but here we are talking about Airplay, not about a monitor directly connected to the iPad (which also can be done)

This might be true but also ipadOS is a buggy mess and fails to even be a good walled garden
